About: My pet care experience spans decades. I grew up with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds and fish, so I understand that pets are family and hold a special place in our hearts. I understand how important it is to keep to a pets daily routine and want you to feel confident in your pet’s care and at ease while you’re away. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, coworkers and acquaintances, following detailed instructions for feeding, medication and walking schedules. I also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society in Salt Lake City, Utah, for over three years, where I walked and handled dogs of various temperaments, cared for cats and their enclosures, and assisted with pet adoptions. My animal care experience also extends beyond household pets. For two years, I worked with the East African Refugee Goat Project of Utah during kidding season, assisting with births and providing care to goats and their mothers afterward. This experience broadened my understanding of animal care and the importance of being attentive to animals’ needs during different stages of life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’ll do my best to provide the attentive, thoughtful care I’d want for my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently available to care for your pets in your home for overnight care, short and long walks, and drop ins. I’m happy to provide overnight care 7 days a week however, if they need 24hour care I’m only available Sat – Monday. On Tuesday – Friday I teach at a local International School and can usually get home to your pet by 4pm at the latest. If you are looking for short or long walks and Drop-ins, I’m available all day Sat-Monday and in the afternoons and evenings Tuesday – Friday. As of now, I’m available for any pet care needs over Thanksgiving and Mid-December through Mid-January as school is out for the holidays. Please feel free to contact me. I’d love to spend some time with your fur babies! My goal is to provide care that stays as close as possible to your pet’s usual routine, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Whether it’s getting plenty of exercise and playtime, sleeping in their favorite bed, or enjoying their usual meals, I’m happy to follow your instructions and accommodate their individual needs. I’m also comfortable administering prescribed medications according to your directions. For your pet’s safety, I ask that you provide emergency contact information for yourself and your veterinarian, just in case an unexpected situation arises. I do my best to keep a close eye on your pet throughout our time together and love capturing special moments to share with you through photo updates. I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pets is a big deal. I treat your home and belongings with respect and take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, loving care while you’re away.

“Aileen did a fantastic job walking our 3 dogs, one of which is a puppy. Her communication throughout the whole process was outstanding. I was so happy getting all of the pictures she took and the potty reports! It was our first time using Rover, and we were extremely pleased with Aileen. We will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I’m a dog owner myself and currently have a Malshi-Poodle named Cookie. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and have experience with different sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I regularly helped walk and care for my uncle’s Golden Retriever and German Shepherd, including taking them to the park. While most of my recent experience has been with my own small dog, I’m comfortable around larger dogs as well. I love walking, being outdoors, and playing with dogs, and I’m happy to give them the exercise, attention, and care they need. I previously worked as a mail carrier, so I’m very used to being on my feet and walking for long periods. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I enjoy walking and being active anyway, so spending time outside with your dog is something I’d genuinely enjoy. I’ll make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ll follow any instructions you give me, keep an eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I can also send pictures and updates so you know everything’s going good.

About: I've had dogs growing up, so I can tell when they're nervous or if something is wrong. I own a husky who is now 2, and loves walks and play time! She's also a cuddler, so cuddles will be provided! My poodle who is 7 years old is still full of energy, but, sometimes likes her privacy. So I have dogs of multiple personalities. I'm a full-time student and also a brand new mom. My fiancé works overnight so, there is no issue on who can watch my baby. I speak 2 languages, and I trying to receive my certificate in another. I speak: English, Spanish, and ASL (The language I'm trying to get my certificate in.) I hope to hear from you guys soon!
About: I am 30 years old, I was the owner of 2 dogs. Sadly one passed away. I have devoted myself to help other owners with their pets, over time I learned the characteristics of dogs, I am patients towards there character and am willing to become the pack leader to have an outcome for a submissive dog. I am in another app as well and I got to be with other dogs who can be so energetic. It is my mission to make them happy and comfortable. I want owners to feel proud of tbem wagging a tail at the end of the day. I hope to meet your dogs and I know they are special to you as they are to me as well. I am a full stay home mom and will always be attentive to your pup! On weekends I attend my church service but come back home to more cuddles! Every pet has freedom in my home and has access to my yard mainly to play and run. If they potty while playing that’s okay it is no problem but mainly they must be able to take potty walks every 4 hours with me on leash. I make sure to feed them and dedicate time to exercise and lots of cuddles! I also want to add, fees will be charged for constant peeing in the home and use of emergency female or male diaper for precaution. Every dog will always like to make their mark. But each dog has their own dominion.
About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
Aileen is incredible! She goes above and beyond. I had a weeklong road trip and she was willing to work with our reactive pup, as well as take care of our older dog. It was definitely a hectic schedule but she was available for it all. We will definitely be booking Aileen for any and all future needs.🤎🐶🐺

Patty has been great with my dog Nova! My dog is a nervous girl around new people. Patty took the time to allow nova to slowly warm up to her on their initial visit, and even offered to come over later that night while I was home so she would be in a more comfortable environment if needed. Nova now loves seeing Patty and I’m overall very happy with the service!

Denise was AMAZING! My dog was very anxious when I left and Denise did a fantastic job of caring for my dog while also doing a little bit of extra cleaning because of a few accidents. Denise was always in communication and constantly updated me whenever she would walk my dog about her status, eating habits and how my dog was feeling. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker! She's awesome :) Thanks again Denise!

Gabrielle was phenomenal. She was attentive to our highly energetic dog’s needs. She was very communicative and thorough with our dog, definitely giving us peace of mind while we were away on a trip. The updates and pictures she sent us of our dog Bruno showed how great of a time he had!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Gardena. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
